This invention relates to savings banks, and it has particular referenceto a sai/ings bank of such construction as to enable it to be disposedand locked Within a Wall.

- member and it has for its principal object to provide ak savings bankcapable of beingl conjointly associated `With an article of utility,as-for example, a shoe shining box, and by which the incentive to savecoins lis encouraged especially in children.

Further objects and advantages of the invention resine in its novelconstruction and method of assembly, `which will become apparent as t-hedescription proceeds, taken l5 in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, wherein:

Figure l represents a side elevationaly view of a portable shoe shininglos with the invention attached.

Figure 2 is a similar vien7 showing the shoe support removed tooperative position.

Figure 3 is an end View.

Fig-ure l is a cross-sectional View on lines L -t of Figure l. i

Figure 5 is a View on lines 5 5 of Figure 4.

Figure G is a. detail view in perspective of the savings bank support,and

Figure 7 is an underside view of Figure fT-" 5, With portions insection.

With the foregoing in view, particular attention is directed to Figurel, showing preferably a metal box l, used as a container for t-he shoeshining equipment il- :ti lustrated in Figure 2. A hinged cover 2 is sodisposed as to swing from the position shown in Figure l to the positionshoivn in Figure 2 whereby, in the latter position, a foot support 3atixed thereto is moyed to a position to'conveniently support the footin polishing the slice. The handle a, by Which the box l is conveyedfrom place to place is countersunk as shown in Figure a particularly, asso not to interfere With the proper positioning of tbc cover 2.

.Vhen its purpose has been served, the support is moved back to theposition as in Figure l, interiorly of the box l and the latch 5 isthrown to retain the cover 2 in place.

Referring now particularly to the small bank or coin receiver affiliatedWith the box and embodying the invention; it Will be.

noted that a recess is made in the end of t-he box of sufcient depth asto partially receive the coin receiver `6. This recess may be eithermade by depressing the metal or forming a metal shell 7, such as shown.in Figure 7 and riveting the same in place. Reference toY Figure 5 Willdisclose the means and the manner in` which the :container 6 is retainedWithin the recess. This means consists of a member 8 such as'illustratedin detail in Figure 6, Which formed to jointly support `,the vcontainerG' and retain the bottom 9 in the container. by being passed throughapertures made therein. See Figure 5 for example. A small padlock l0 isapplied to the protruding end of the member S to prevent ready removalof the container 6 and its contents.

The top of the container 6 has a countersunk covering in which is madea. coin slot 1l. Countersinking this cover affords an annular flange atthe top of the container, behind which a key 12 is turned, interiorly ofthe boX l, to constrain the top of the bank 6 from outward displacement.l

In order to remove the contents from the bank 6, it is necessary tounlock the padlock l0, raise the cover 2, pull out the mem.

ber 8, and turn the key 12 to release the top of the bank. lVhen removedfrom the recess, the bottom 9 will fall from its position shown inFigure. y

- The device described `affords a convenient and compact container forthe shoe shining equipment in the home, and the added advantage ofhaving an accessible support for the foot While brushing the shoe, theinvention affording a receiver for the coin Which otherwise would bespent elsewhere, and especially encouraging children to take an interestin saving the coins so earned.
